《Empire of War》Empire of War Chapter 4 Happy Family!

-Maria we are blessed, our son made us proud by becoming the new village leader. Now Hector is respectable, he can easily get a good wife, even most beautiful women are no longer out of his reach. Can not wait to have beautiful grandsons. We should try and find a good bride for our son.
-Erick We should not force our son to do something he does not want to do. Can you not see how busy is he? I just saw somebody came to visit him. Now he is a busy man. We should respect him. But it would hurt no one if we were to try and find a bride for him.
This was the type of conversation these two old people had when Luke (With Hector's body) went inside their room. The couple did not expect this, because Hector used to knock on the door before, but now his behaviour seemed very different. Erick Looked with horrified eyes how his beloved son knocked his own mother unconscious. Suddenly he felt somebody hitting him…
Erick regained consciousness and the first thing he heard was “Luke how could you use so much force on an old woman. She is dead, sadly her body is useless for labour. I won’t even bother connecting her mind to yours. She is useless, but now you have killed one of the animals the village leader liked. I can not test poison on a dead body. Thankfully Mott did a good job and brought the second animal alive for the experiment.” Opening his eyes Erick saw a bizarre sigh. Blue coloured creature, which had the form of a malevolent eye, was talking to his son.
(Iveriel)- I see you have woken up Mister Erick. Please stay calm and don’t worry he is no longer your son. Now he is Luke. I have killed your son's mind and replaced it with Lukes. Well, to be honest, it was Mott who killed your son, but under my order. So stay Calm and Thank you for taking part in my experiment. I am a very ethical being, after all, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable.

(Erick)- Wha.. aa.. h.. ttt?? (His voice shaking) You Devil. DAJJAL
(Iveriel)- How Rude! I may have one Eye, but it does not mean that I am a dajjal. In fact, I am a very merciful being. I don’t take pleasure in torturing animals. I am doing this for the sake of experiment and science. That's why I have told you that this man is no longer your son. Well, your wife died, but it was an accident. Every biological organism dies. What's the big deal if one dies by natural death or by force? Now your meaningless life has a greater purpose. To be used as a test subject for poison I have developed and guess what? This poison will kill you without any pain or suffering probably in 45 minutes. Today I am going to poison every villager with this poison. Remember today is a gathering of villagers. Oh, How much I love Useful Idiots.
-Luke injected poison. It is kinda ironic that we are going to use his son’s body to kill both of his parents. Please, old man, stop praying. Praying is a folly of fools. Even if there is such a thing as god, he is definitely not kind, therefore, nobody is coming to save you. Mott mix this poison with food and give it to animals they own. It is okay to poison horses and cows, since I am going to connect them to luke, nobody will notice anything. This poison is a modified version of Amatoxin poison. High-quality stuff.
(Erick)- Why? What have I done? How did I deserve this kind of treatment in my old age? I worked hard my entire life and now this is what I get? I have never done anything bad. I have supported the poor as much as I could. I did my best to take care of my wife. God did not give us kids. My wife even asked me to get another woman so she could give me a child, but I refused and adopted a baby. Everybody used to mock us, because of my decision AND NOW THIS? Is there no justice in this world? What kind of God allows man to suffer like this? Where is his justice?

(Iveriel)- There is no such thing as “Justice”. A fundamental problem of justice is that only the strong can demand justice. If a strong empire were to bully a weaker one. Even if strong empires actions are unjust, weaker ones can only suffer. Weak and Unfortunate will die and that is only natural. Also, there is no god and even if there is such a being as God he is not kind. Look around the world. How much suffering and misery is out there? You call me evil, because I am doing an experiment on you, while God is doing an experiment on the whole UNIVERSE and somehow you think I am evil? Your idiocracy is laughable. There is no such thing as justice. In fact, there has never been such a thing as justice in this world. That's why the weak and unfortunate have invented heaven or the idea of karma.
(Erick)- God is evil? hahahaha.
(Iveriel)- Well, if there is such a being as the original creator of universes then he is not really evil. That would be an absurd claim, because with the same logic it would mean that I am also evil. But the truth is that I am Indifferent, therefore there is a good chance for the original creator to be indifferent. I mean do you really care about the suffering of ants?
(Erick)- But, we are created in God's Image. Ants are just ants.
(Iveriel)- Well, Xenophanes from earth gave a really good answer to your claim. If cattle and horses, or lions, had hands, or were able to draw with their feet and produce the works which men do, horses would draw the forms of gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make the gods' bodies the same shape as their own. Also, how idiotic of you to make such a claim in front of me, but you will never understand how stupid you are. Your time is up, since your body was old, poison worked faster goodbye!
Luke, Today is your night make sure to poison food, water and alcohol. Also, both of you take this vaccine, after taking it, poison will have no effect on your bodies. Enjoy!

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
